Colleague Connect
The Community Foundation is excited to host free opportunities for connection, collaboration and community building through Colleague Connect.
Colleague Connect is a series of conversation and networking groups set in a fun, informal and confidential setting. The content of the meeting can include round table discussions, idea sharing or a speaker. Group members and staff commit to creating a confidential space for peer groups to share resources, discuss insights and troubleshoot challenges.
These are a come when you can group, and we ask that in order to maintain the authenticity and confidentiality of the conversation that only nonprofit professionals holding these positions attend. There is no cost to participate. Learn more about each group below.
